10 Things We Learned Rewatching Ohio State's Win Over Maryland Oct 11, 2026

Show notes

Ohio State beat Maryland 45-16, but what did the Buckeyes really show once we went back and watched the game again?
Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr break down 10 things that stood out on the rewatch, including Ohio State’s costly mental mistakes, the reshuffled offensive line, Bo Jackson and Ja'Kobi Jackson’s continued emergence, Jeremiah Smith’s ridiculous impact on the offense, concerns about protecting Julian Sayin, Qua Russaw and Eddrick Houston coming on along the defensive front, the latest with Beau Atkinson, Chris Henry Jr.’s growing role, and some encouraging developments on special teams.

BONUS: How Maryland Is Approaching The Challenge Of Ohio State Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

You've heard a lot from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day this week. This episode is going to be very different. This time, you'll hear some of the most interesting answers from the press conference of Maryland head coach Mike Locksley.
He's in a very, very different spot than Day and the Buckeyes are. Maryland enters this weekend on a three-game losing streak, and as an underdog of more than 30 points. Locksley's job status is pretty precarious as well, as he entered the year on the hot seat and hasn't done much to cool things off.
In this episode, you'll hear his thoughts on preparing for an offense including Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith, the challenge of facing a program with two former NFL head coaches as its coordinators, whether Maryland can ever compete with teams like Ohio State in the modern recruiting landscape, and more.

What they've learned after adding 51 new players during the offseason, and how that impacted things during the offseason and even into the year.
Whether those lessons learned might impact their approach to personnel in the future.
Day frequently talks about challenging individual players, entire position groups, or even the whole team. What does that actually look like in his program?
What is the identity of this year's Ohio State team in all three phases of the game?
